After a PhD in Management Science from the Université libre de Bruxelles, Carine Peeters joined the Fuqua School of Business, Duke University, as a senior researcher to help launch the Offshoring Research Network. In 2006 she became lead partner of the network for Belgium.

Through workshops and trainings she also works closely with executives and managers to develop and share knowledge on successful offshoring strategies and management practices. Carine has co-authored several articles in leading international journals including Journal of International Business Studies and Organization Science, and is a member of several academic associations.
